I Choose

A free verse poetry

I choose To let go off of my painful past To not let it demotivate me any further To take lessons from it and move on To let the past stay in the past.

I choose To treat my present as a present To use it for self-motivated learning To make the best of my surroundings To make everyday count.

I choose To welcome a bright future with open arms To be optimistic about what it holds for me To be confident about dealing with challenges To build a desirable future I have always dreamt of.
